    When the cringy rich dingus tells you to code something that is impossible to do with the current infrastructure and the timeframe but instead of explaining because you know he'll have a temper tantrum, you just do the best you can knowing it won't work but are already looking for other jobs so you don't actually care that much.

    Is this real??

    I can't imagine it's hard to scroll past 600 posts in a day if you use twitter a lot.

    So, once you're done your 600 posts, you'll go somewhere else where you can scroll endlessly, then slowly find yourself more and more going to that somewhere else instead of twitter. Elon twitler Musk is an idiot.

    I wonder if Reddit is going to do this next...

    I can see them making people log in to see the posts.

    I can see Reddit limiting upvotes per day. Only 300 but "unlimited" with Reddit premium, etc

    Reddit just loves going full Twitter

    Also could be that they are scaling down systems

    This will just kill the big accounts that generate a majority of the engagement

    Image Transcription: Twitter Post


    Elon Musk, @elonmusk

    To address extreme levels of data scrapting & system manipulation, we've applied the following temporary limits:

     

    - Verified accounts are limited to reading 6000 posts/day

    - Unverified accounts to 600 posts/day

    - New unverified accounts to 300/day


    This is a transcription template from r/TranscribersOfReddit, which is currently making their templates accessible outside of Reddit. I will update this post with a link to our templates once we have it all sorted. For now, you can access them through Reddit here! https://www.reddit.com/r/TranscribersOfReddit/wiki/guidelines/
